Ok So I am thining of upgrading my suspensions from agx+gc to either:

Koni Yellow and Ground Control or Omnipower Full Coilovers.

Which do you think it better? I want to ride pretty low and lot look like a bobble head doll so i wasnt sure if the omni's were better or some yellows with stiff springs would be better...

this is for a daily driver, which do you think is best?

Hell no.

 

do you know how to decipher spring rates?
I am gonna get some koni yellow and i already have some gc but dont know what the spring rate is.... the code is GC200.64.58


I need to know so i can decide what stiffness to get for me new gc's....

 

330.6 if it has that serial number stamped on it.

I would think only 2 of them would have that same serial on it. The other 2 should be a different spring rate. I don't usually see a GC setup where the front and rear use the same .lb spring.

 

yep the rear are like GC180.64.58 or something. So the front are 330lb? Is that a lil weak for riding low~?

thx

From the very superficial level, Omnis are made in Taiwan, and Ground Controls are made in the US. As for Koni, I'm not too sure. Anyways, the former has no warranty to speak of, which hints at the quality of the build and the company backing the product. The latter, on the other hand, comes with full lifetime warrantiy given that you don't outright abuse the product. Plus, GC (Eibach) and Koni have been around much longer.

This situation is similar to the pocket bike craze that recently came about. Taiwanese pocket bikes flooded the market, which looked the same as their Italian counterparts, but were in no way on the same level.

 

For street driving only omni's should be fine, know one really knows how long they will last yet as they are relativly new, they are not rebuildable and they are non adjustable, the do have a 1 year warranty.
Konis are rebuildable, and adjustable and as mentioned have a lifetime warranty. Since they are rebuldable when they if they wear out or you change your suspension you can send them back to have them rebuilt and custom valved if you need them to be. Koni is basically a life time shock

 

koni it is! thanks

Holland

 

Omni's because they are the same if not better and are cheaper.

wow, so did you just not read ANYTHING posted before yours or what? That's got to be one of the most inaccurate things I've read on here in a while. There's no comparison between the two. Koni/GC hands down
